The postponed annual TBLI CONFERENCE ASIA 2011 on Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) and Impact Investment will be held in Tokyo on September 15-16, 2011. The two-day pan-Asian Conference, convened at The Four Seasons at Chinzan-so Hotel, will look at all aspects of this fastest growing form of sustainable investing.

During the Roundtable on September 15 the special role the financial sector plays in rebuilding the Japanese economy, will be discussed. Renewable energy as well the ageing society and diminishing workforce will be themes to exchange ideas on.

Socially responsible investors need the latest research and industry insights in order to release the billions of investment capital that will finance a shift to a low-carbon energy system. Climate change and the economic growth in Asia are two of the rising forces that will shape the investment industry, and the world, in the years to come.

“TBLI CONFERENCE ASIA 2011 offers a forum for financial decision-makers and SRI thought leaders to collaborate and learn from each other about best practices in addressing today’s most pressing global issues,” says Robert Rubinstein, CEO and Founder of TBLI GROUP™.

Keynote speakers will be Hiroshi Komiyama, Chairman of the Mitsubishi Research Institute, Inc., who will discuss “The Revitalization for Japan - The Platinum Society”; Nicholas Parker, Chairman of the Cleantech Group LLC & Parker Venture Management Inc. in Canada, and Doris M. Schönemann, Chairperson at Swiss Federal Social Security Fund AVS/AI/APG in Switzerland.

Based in Amsterdam, the TBLI GROUP™ raises awareness of sustainable investment in the financial sector, by assisting investors and providing a global network for parties who share in this goal. For more information, visithttp://tbliconference.com/.
